I installed VMware Workstation 15 Player in Windows10. The version information is as follows:

When you tried to start the virtual machine, you encountered the following error message:

Your host does not meet the minimum requirements for running VMware Player with Hyper-V or Device/Credential Guard enabled.

My Windows10 version number is: version 1909, OS Build 18363.1316

For my Windows10 version, if I want to use VMware Workstation Player 15.5.5, the solution provided by VMware official website is: Disable Hyper-V and Virtualization- Based Security(VBS) on Windows hosts:

Disable Hyper-V in the Windows host, then launch VMware Workstation and power on VMs. Note that Windows host VBS will be disabled automatically if Hyper-V is disabled

If using Windows 10 1909 or earlier, the system requirements are not met and therefore Virtualization Based Security has to be set as “Not Enabled”.

In Turn Windows Features On or Off, uncheck all Hyper-V related checkboxes:

Execute the command line:

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off:

Ensure successful operation:

Running services. MSC:

Ensure that Hyper V related services are running only the following:

  • Hyper-V Host Compute Service
  • Hyper-V Virtual Machine Management

Turn off the HV Host service:

Then use this PowerShell script from my CSDN:

In Administrator mode, run the PowerShell script:

. / DG_Readiness_Tool_v3. 6. Ps1 – Ready:

Credential-Guard is enabled and running:

Disable credential-guard by running the script:

. / DG_Readiness_Tool_v3. 6. Ps1 – Disable


Displays the green DisaBling-Hyper-V and IOMMU Successful, indicating that the script executed successfully.

As for the foot newspaper’s red error message:

del : Cannot find path ‘C:\Windows\System32\CodeIntegrity\SIPolicy.p7b’ because it does not exist.

You can ignore it. This error message refers to the GitHub issue.

Finally, run the command msinfo32:

Virtualization- Based Security should be not running:

Then the virtual machine can start smoothly:
